Liam’s POVI lay down on the bed, reminiscing on the good times we had before I met Laura. Sighing my throat felt parched but then, I finished up all the whiskey in my mini-bar.Standing up from the bed, I took long strides into the bathroom, anyone who could see me right now would attest to the fact that I was the delusional one. Staying in Avery’s room and using her shower gel gave me a certain type of comfort that I yearned for.I ran a cold water bath and stepped out of the bathroom, reaching for my phone on the table I scrolled through the call log and found out Nana and Grandfather called me so many times and I failed to return the calls.Exhaling sharply I was not in the mood for any more motivating speeches I just wanted to be left alone. It's so hard for me to walk around in the city, I can no longer visit the lounge since the manager thinks I'm bad business. If I was told a couple of months ago this was how my life would turn out just maybe I would have learned to treat Aver
Avery’s POV“Babe we would be late, what are you still doing in the shower? Jamal!” I yelled, running a comb through my hair. It was difficult to right now I needed Jamal’s help, but he was still in the shower singing so loud my ears were filled already.“You leave me breathless, you’re everything good in my life…”Sighing, I dropped the comb on the dressing table. Instantly the bathroom door opened, “Did I keep you waiting my queen? I apologize for my misconduct, her highness.”Redirecting my gaze to the bathroom, Jamal stood in front with a towel wrapped around his waist firmly while he pouted. Laughing so hard I stroked my bump, the baby gets agitated easily when I exert so many emotions.“Jamal, please get dressed and stop acting like a lady.”“Alright babe, your wish is my command.” He said calmly moving toward the wardrobe. I still had not gotten used to seeing him naked around the room even after we had been intimate with each other, but Jamal was still patient with me.Liam me
Author’s POVJamal drove quickly out of his estate, he had a meeting with the board of directors in a company looking to invest a billion dollars into his real estate company.He was both a successful actor and real estate mogul. Jamal owned diverse properties across the globe and his father owned half of the city, but he has always been humble and respectful.“I'm on my way Khloe, get everything ready and everyone should be sitting before I get there.” he instructed on the call before ending it abruptly. Avery is the only one who makes Jamal calm and easygoing, but when it involves his work he is always strict.Thirty minutes later he drove into Blue Home Company. A Valet stood at the entrance, stepping out of my car, he tossed the keys at him with a warm smile.Walking briskly into the company Khloe came to guide him, “Good morning Mr. Jamal, everyone is waiting for you at the conference room.”“Good morning Khloe, thank you once again for helping me out. Shall we?” he said before t
Avery’s POV“Mom it's not your fault, everything happened so fast, and I just wanted to help out in the little way I could. Enough of the whole act of blaming yourself for everything bad that happened to me. We should be grateful that Jamal was still there to help me out when I needed someone and this baby is my blessing he is not a curse!” I said, staring at my mom with teary eyes.Pulling me closer she patted my arms softly, “I'm sorry my princess for making you cry, I'm happy to know you are happy with Jamal and with the baby on its way soon I don't want you thinking too much. Try your best to rest and have enough fruits, you should also stop working for the moment.” my mom said calmly.Resting my head on her shoulders I stroked my baby bump, this has become a habit I could not stop for a weird reason. It gives me this closure with my unborn child and it's also a way of reassuring him I was still here.“Mom I have to leave the house and do something to keep myself fit, staying all
Avery’s POV“Just stay put I'm coming to get you then we can go together, I don't like the idea of you walking around on your own Babe!” Jamal said, sounding so worried.Giggling I replied, “I will be fine my love, it's just the mall two blocks away from my studio. I'm craving Cheetos and chips, it's not my fault the baby can’t wait for you to drive all the way from the other end of the city to the studio.”He exhaled sharply, whenever he did this it meant Jamal was tired of arguing and would eventually let me do what I chose to, but I felt terrible for doing this. So I decided to explain myself further,“Babe, I know you are trying to be a caring and supportive partner, but I'm fine, alright. My health is great, and I don't feel so fatigued, but if you keep insisting on doing everything for me, how would I be able to get my regular exercise besides yoga?” I asked softly.“I just don't want my sweetheart stressing over small things like Cheetos and chips.”Laughing I stood up from the
Avery’s POVThe incident with Liam suddenly made me jittery, Jamal noticed how I easily forgot minimal details and how I kept dropping items on the ground in our bedroom. We moved to the guest room yesterday, Jamal helped to move all my stuff and got me a new massage chair. It felt so good last night when I tried it out, but it did not help with my fear of being cornered by Liam at the shopping mall. What became crazy was the fact that I knew Liam must have scouted for me through my social media page, and he knew where my studio was located. In the last two days, I came up with a sob story of how I was experiencing a series of cramps and just felt like resting all in a bid to outrun Liam, but now I just needed to get back to work. It is just a few weeks from my EDD and I still have two art pieces to complete. Sighing, I stepped on the accelerator while I drove down the road heading for the studio. Jamal left the house a couple of hours ago, it would be unfair to request that he dr
Chapter 113Avery’s POV Jamal held me close while we left the hospital, Dr. Leonardo told him something, but they discussed it in hushed tones while the nurse took my blood sample. He returned saying everything was normal, but after the discussion his countenance was disturbing. It was obvious something was going on, but Jamal was keeping it away from me, so I made up my mind to get the details from him before going to bed. We stopped at the pharmacy down the road and Jamal got down to get the supplements I needed and some drugs Dr. Leonard prescribed earlier at the hospital. I watched him walk into the pharmacy, he looked so tensed and angry but tried his best to calm himself down. Clutching my dress I tried to calm myself down, Liam cornering me at the studio was something I never thought he was going to do. Reaching for my purse, I took my phone out and dialed my mom’s number, “Hello, mommy,” I said, immediately she answered. “My lovely daughter Avery, How have you been? I t
Liam’s POVWhat would I do to make Avery come back to me? This question rang through my mind while I sat in my car after being chased out of the studio by Avery’s security.I sighed heavily, shortly after I saw Jamal running crazily out of his car into the studio. He came out hurriedly in less than five minutes holding Avery who was unconscious in his hands while running towards the car.He closed the car door and looked around the neighborhood searching for something. I quickly lowered my head to prevent him from seeing my features behind the steering wheel, Jamal drove out from the studio to the hospital.Immediately I panicked before turning on the ignition of my car, what could be the problem? I hoped silently in my heart that something terrible would happen to Avery and my baby.Hitting my forehead lightly I cursed myself, “Liam! Why do you destroy things when you are supposed to be fixing them? You are still as selfish as ever, you kept on sneaking up on Avery knowing fully well
